Modern Warfare 3 | MW3 - Killstreaks / Strike Packages

Killstreaks are bonuses that are earned by killing multiple enemies in a row without dying or gaining points by completing objectives. You can lower the required amount by 1 with the Hardline perk. Killstreaks are divided into 3 Strike Packages: Assault, Support and Specialist.

The Assault Strike Package works like in previous Call of Duty games; when you die, your killstreak ends. The Support Strike Package is the opposite, as it allows you to die without having your killstreak reset. The Specialist Strike Package doesn't have any killstreak rewards, but it allows you to choose 3 additional perks for your class.

MOAB (25 kills)

The MOAB (Mother of All Bombs) is a hidden killstreak available with any Strike Package. It's earned by getting a 25 killstreak, not including Strike Package kills. The MOAB works pretty much like the Tactical Nuke from Modern Warfare 2; it kills every enemy on the map and causes an EMP-effect for the enemy team by eliminating all enemy equipment, electronics and killstreaks for 1 minute.

The MOAB doesn't end the match. The team that uses the MOAB will have double XP for the remainder of that match.
